About Us

"We are a traditional Jewish family with one difference - our 27 year old son has cerebral palsy. Five years ago Joel moved into Aztec House and this changed all our lives. It has given us peace of mind knowing that our son is in a safe environment where there is always someone available to assist. The future no longer looks bleak and, against all I was told, Joel can be independent to a large degree."

HOW YOU CAN HELP

About us

We are the only Jewish charity dedicated to providing a life of independence, dignity and choice for any adult, from the age of 18 upwards, who is physically disabled or vision impaired. We enable this independent lifestyle via the provision of state-of-the-art mobility apartments, with 24/7 on site support from our own resident house managers. Without these unique facilities many of our tenants would have no choice but to live a life of dependence on others, or even be forced to move into residential care often at a relatively young age.

Our core philosophy is that every individual is entitled to a life of dignity, independence and choice. Our mission is to provide this life for any adult in our community, from the age of 18 upwards, who is physically disabled or vision impaired. Our state-of-the-art mobility apartments are located within modern, well-maintained custom designed buildings providing a caring, Jewish environment where our tenants can get on with their lives safe in the knowledge that support is always on hand 24/7 if required.

In 2014 it will be 45 years since Cecil Rosen first started to realise his dream that neither physical disability nor impaired vision should be allowed to interfere with an individual's right to an independent lifestyle. Today we continue to fulfil this dream as we look forward to the opening of our seventh development of state-of-the-art mobility apartments in Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire. We are delighted to have been able to name this latest development, which adds to the six we currently have in North West and North East London, Cecil Rosen Court in his honour.

We pride ourselves on running a tight ship with a small team of dedicated professionals who ensure that your donations go where they will do most good. This team is supported by lay leaders who provide invaluable help and advice based on an involvement with the charity that goes back to its inception over 40 years ago.
